Delta Queen Coming to Chattanooga?

Louisville resident Jo Ann Schoen said a potential buyer in Chattanooga, Tenn., told her recently that he planned to permanently dock the boat and use it as a hotel. Schoen, who has taken 15 cruises on the Delta Queen since 2001, said Chattanooga developer Allen Casey told her about his plans in early July when she asked him to sign her petition in support of a congressional exemption.

Fun things to do with kids in Chattanooga

Downtown there are the Creative Discovery Museum (which is having a Clifford the Big, Red Dog exhibit for the next few months), The Aquarium (the Aquarium has a man-made stream running through the outdoor part that my kids enjoy playing in), and the IMAX.

Commentary: Good blog post about kid-friendly stuff to do. Maybe some of our Chattaratians would like to add something here or to djinny’s post.
